The Old Bakehouse in Harrogate

The owner is so friendly and personable But her brownies and cakes are a class above I chose a chocolate oaty flap jack But it had Ginger crystal bits to make it a memorable So I wish her lots of success. A tea or coffee machine would complete the picnic possibilities

We bought buns and 2 cakes here to take home .We really appreciated a warm welcome in a traditional family bakery The produce is superb.

We’ve only tried the date and walnut flapjack and the egg custard tarts so far but they were exceptional👍Still got the date square to go at (my favourite)😋

The best cheese scones I've ever tasted this place is fantastic.i will be back for more. Well worth visiting

Date and walnut scones simply perfect. Friendly staff and always a good range of products.

An excellent bakehouse with those Yorkshire staples of curd tarts and fat rascals (though apparently they are not allowed to call them that so have a local name) The curd tarts had enough spice and were crumbly enough to please these two Yorkshire exiles and the scones were equally fine. We will return when in this area again, hopefully in the not too distant future.

Superb bakery,everything made on the premises.Bread ,cakes ,everything you need.To be found on Pateley Bridge high street,well worth a visit.

New ownership since we last visited. The fresh white bread is very nice and my young son raves about it. Caramel slice has plenty of caramel, while so many other places make them too dry. Nice friendly welcome. Will be frequenting them on a regular basis.

Awesome cakes and fantastic service. The only problem is too many delicious cakes to choose from. Although I can highly recommend the Baileys Slice.

Lovely cakes sausage rolls and brownies to take away- a lovely little bakery, well placed on the high street

Just wanted to buy a couple of rolls for lunch on our journey home after 5 great days staying near Pately Bridge. One beef and horseradish,one Wensleydale and chutney;both delicious. Two ladies serving amusing and friendly! Wish I lived nearer but would probably put on a stone fairly quickly as everything looked very tempting !

Just had a delicious picnic made up from this lovely bakery. My family and I each had a delicious sandwich with just the right amount of filling. The bread was so soft and had that fresh bread smell when I bit into it. The lady even kindly cut my children’s sandwiches into quarter, nothing we asked for was a problem. We had a selection of crisps, drinks and cakes. My husband was very happy with his Bakewell tart as I was with an oaty flapjack covered in chocolate and caramel sauce. We are having a little play in the park and then heading back for an ice cream. I might even pick up a few fruit scones for home. It is all too tempting. Little gem in Pateley bridge.

As the Yorkshire would say ‘bloody brilliant’. Never thought to come to write a review before but I saw one poor comment and felt the need to. My husband and I have always bought our children here for a bite to eat and a cake or two, brilliant service, very child friendly, beautiful to look at and mouthwatering food. It’s our family tradition to drive to pateley, go to this bakery and walk down the river or have a play in the park, sunny or rainy weather. Ice cream lovely and not the bog standard flavours which I love, the staff seem to know everything about there products which is good as my daughter has many allergies. Definitely recommend and definitely going to keep coming here for years and years to come.

Top quality food, the staff are really helpful and an absolute delight. The bread is so fresh I brush my teeth with it. The cakes are that beautiful I feel atrocious having to bite in to them. Highly recommend. Well done!!

This bake house had signs up declaring their awesomeness, so it was only right to step in to see what they had! At the late hour of 4pm on a Wednesday, they still had a diverse range of temptations. We went for the Jaffa cake tiffin and peppermint tiffin and enjoyed them both. This bakehouse truly does know their stuff--even for nonbaked goods like tiffins!

Popped in when passing through Pateley Bridge on way home from a few days in Harrogate to buy a loaf - it was one of the best I have had recently. Light, crusty and tasty. They seemed to have a fair range of cakes, pie and other treats as well as bread.

Excellent bakery Large range of pork pies to say the least, which i love. Great customer service and brilliant produce Definitely should stop for a visit, especially for camping or picnic. Thanks guys From The wakey chef

My sisters and I had the best time picking out fresh pastries and warm bread to take home for breakfast. Everything we tried was great! The ladies in the shop are friendly as well. Do stop by!

Called in on my way through and couldnt resist popping in for a great tasting chicken, bacon mayo sandwhich stocked full of flavour and very filling. The crumbles are to die for and are packed to the top with filling and are a taste sensation. Really welcoming feel when you walk in, with very friendly staff who are always smiling and happy to help

Went into thia lovely little shop. Bought a loaf of their homemade multiseed bread and a piece of flapjack. The food was delicious, especially the bread. Such a nice place. Will definitely be going back there next time I am in town.

We went there today to buy some filled bread rolls for lunch. The serving lady was not very interested in serving us, she didn't smile even once and made impression of being annoyed by our special requests ( one roll without mayo, the other one without Yorkshire sauce).The other serving lady seemed to be absent with her mind because she asked us every single word to repeat, couldn't understand what we were saying. The chicken and bacon roll was ok but the roll with cheddar cheese was a big disappointment: little butter with some grated cheese without any taste. I was happy that afterwards we went to buy something in the local Spar because the lady at the cashier there was very nice and helpful. Otherwise I would think that all people in Pateney Bridge are not interested in their clients and annoyed by their wishes, exactly like in the Old Bakehouse.

We called in following staying at a local cottage. We picked up a loaf of brown bread , some very tasty millionaire flapjack and some mince pies. My wife had a lovely lemon treacle tart which she loved.

Best mince pies with crumble topping EVER!

Popped in there for a brew nice service friendly good selection of pies and cakes A little gem of a shop 😄

We were off for a walk and decided to take a couple of rolls with us . Order two rolls and two flapjacks one plain and the other pear and ginger . The rolls well very dry the filling poor to say the least and a complete disappointment . Had I not been 3 miles away they would have had them back . The flapjack was also very disappointing and the difference in taste between the two was none at all both had no taste or flavour what so ever.

Lots of really tasty products to choose from and we tried quite a few and were not disappointed with any of them

Love the strawberry and rhubarb slices

Called in for just a Yorkshire Curd Tart, left with said tart which was outstanding, parkin which is great, two types of treacle tart which were amazing, buttered white rolls, soft and about as perfectly baked as a white roll can be. The staff were lovely, helpful,cheerful and made the early morning shopping in Pateley a pleasure. If you don't enjoy this place and it's produce there is something wrong with you, not them. Thank you we will be back

I have stayed in Pateley Bridge twice in the past 7 weeks, but couldn't walk past this bakery without paying it a visit no matter how hard I tried.

I really don't like to leave negative reviews but this place really was bad, and it was as if they didn't seem to care that they were bad. Patley Bridge is a lovely place, but I image alot of the customers are walkers such as myself, passing through, buying a sandwich and eating it some way away from the shop.....too far away to go back and complain!

Great selection of sandwiches, cakes etc - only reason it's not 5* is that I had a salad a week or so ago & found it expensive for what it was.

I've bought cakes and bread from here on several occasions. It's a nice old-fashioned bakery, which sells quality stuff, with good service, and fair prices.

Not a restaurant but fab food, we tried 4 different individual cakes each one was great, the individual crumbles are my recommendation. Also the fresh bread is so much nicer than getting Hovis!

Very nice bakery but expensive. Delicious looking cakes and buns and the bread is nice and they will slice it for you.

Offering a wide choice of freshly baked bread and goodies, this is a regular drop by for me when in town. The sausage rolls are rather moreish as are some of the pastries offered for sale. i can feel my wasitline expanding as soon as i walk in

We were staying in our caravan in Pateley Bridge and used this shop during our time there. It sold great fresh bread and wonderful pastries.

Lots of fresh bread and cakes all reasonably priced, freshly made sandwiches etc too but we didn't try those. Definately a thumbs up for gingerbread men and gorgeous fat rascals (Pateley Rascals).

Great service and chat. Freshly baked bread and rolls. Custom built sandwiches for lunch. Great cakes. Outstanding.

This is a lovely family owned bakery which we have visited many times whilst on holiday. Excellent fresh bread and a wide range of cakes- all brilliant. My favourite is the Date and Walnut scones.

Just delicious offerings and all so fresh! And they also have some GF cakes - a bonus. Lovely, friendly staff member who was polite and very helpful.

The sandwich was actually very nice but wow, I have never seen it take so long to 'construct' each of our sandwiches. They must have taken 15 minutes each to lovingly place every individual strip of lettuce, slice of onion or tomato into the baguette one at a time.

Using deep frozen bread n heating it in the ovens, the shop is dilapidated and untidy in present times, needs a spruce up and a square up as well, it used to be beautiful but unfortunately the bread never was baked on sight :(
